Chapter 62 Who is the beauty who brings disaster?
Marquis Pingxi was shocked and confused. He saw his son's infatuation with Ye. Could he have really made a mistake?
If this is the case, the heir must be replaced instead of trying to make the emperor change his mind.
Anyone who puts his children's personal feelings above the interests of the family is not worthy of being the person in charge of the family.
However, the Marquis's wife glared at Ye Yichen fiercely, unable to hide her disgust.
Beautiful women are a disaster and a harmful spirit.
At the critical moment, Jiang Wenzhou was only concerned with saving Ye Yichen and left her, his own mother, in the fire, which made her heartbroken.
The son she gave birth to was born for Ye Yichen, and she raised him in vain.
No, she has to get it back!
Jiang Wenzhou's expression changed drastically, "I didn't, it wasn't me!"
Ye Yizhen's face was pale and pitiful. "Yun Zheng, it's okay if you hate me, but please let my husband go. If anything happens to him, neither of us will have a good ending."
Logically speaking, she shouldn't call him husband, but in front of Yun Zheng, she called him husband over and over again, showing their close intimacy.
Even at this time, he is still playing tricks.
Yun Zheng's eyes were filled with evil. Was he trying to provoke her? Why did he feel that she was using all these tricks to win his favor?
In their view, a woman’s only pursuit in life is to take care of her husband and children, and there is no other value.
For a merchant's daughter to marry into a marquis's mansion is a great honor, a dream come true, and no one is willing to give up this honor.
However, she dreamed of leaving this wolf's den.
"Aunt An, isn't it a coincidence that it happened at this time, not earlier or later?"
Aunt An remained silent. It was indeed very suspicious, but was it possible that she would set fire to her own house, causing a fire, and disregarding the safety of her own family just to save Ye Yizhen from punishment?
Eunuch De sat on the ground, holding his burnt hair, his eyes full of anger. "Investigate, investigate thoroughly, and ask the people from the Mingjingsi to come and investigate the case."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was shocked. No, they couldn't let them come.
The emperor was already very dissatisfied with the Pingxi Marquis' Mansion. If he found out anything else, he would be in trouble.
Especially Ye Yichen, with beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.
Jiang Wenzhou was also extremely anxious and tried his best to stop her, "No, no, don't do that. This is just a coincidence. There's no need to mobilize a large force."
Eunuch De especially treasured his black hair. Now, it has been ruined like this and his foot is sprained. It hurts so much. How can he not hate it?
Someone must be held accountable for this!
"Go quickly and find Master Guyu."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Pingxi Hou hurriedly intervened, "Don't worry, eunuch. There is no need to involve the Mingjing Division in such a small matter. I will investigate and I will definitely give you an explanation."
Eunuch De didn't want to pay attention, but Marquis Pingxi took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to him with a flattering look on his face.
Eunuch De thought of the jade pendant and thought it was of good quality and could be worth several hundred taels. It would be okay if they could share it among themselves.
"Okay, you go check it out. Don't try to be perfunctory. The palace is still waiting for our reply."
Marquis Pingxi said he would conduct a thorough investigation.
Yun Zheng sat on the top of the wall, looking down from above. She could see the situation of everyone and had some vague guesses in her mind.
Asking Pingxi Hou to check himself, what's the difference between this and cheating?
As she expected, Pingxi Hou was very efficient and quickly caught a little maid.
The maid trembled with fear and said, "I am a handyman in Wutong Courtyard. I dozed off while making tea in the small red stove and accidentally burned it."
There is no small kitchen in Wutongyuan, so we have to rely on a small stove to make tea and boil water.
She kowtowed so hard that her head was broken. "This servant deserves death. Please punish me, Master."
Pingxi Hou looked at the people coming from the palace and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, what do you think of the punishment?"
"This..." Aunt An hesitated. With her background, she was too disdainful to argue with a little maid.
She looked at Eunuch De, who was playing with the jade pendant without commenting.
She then said, "This is your family affair. It's not convenient for us to get involved. Please handle it yourselves."
The corners of Pingxi Hou's mouth turned up slightly, as if he had expected it.
Ye Yizhen's anxious heart finally settled down and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when things seemed to be going smoothly, a clear voice rang out again, "No."
It’s Yun Zheng again.
Ye Yizhen looked up and glared at the woman in red who was sitting high on the wall.
If eyes could turn into sharp arrows, they would have pierced the other person into a bloody hole long ago.
Why is she doing this? It's so annoying!
Aunt An's heart tightened, "What's wrong?"
Yun Zheng sniffed. "It's the smell of tung oil. To prevent accidental fires, tung oil is strictly controlled. There's absolutely no way there's tung oil in the inner courtyard. So there's only one possibility: someone brought it in on purpose. It was an intentional arson."
Jiang Wenzhou was furious. "There's no such thing as tung oil smell. That's nonsense! You're just spreading rumors and causing trouble."
He certainly didn't smell it, but no matter what, this matter couldn't be made a big deal.
"Yun Zheng, don't think you can show off just because you have the Nine Thousand Years Old Man backing you up. You're not taking the Nine Thousand Years Old Man's polite words seriously, are you?"
He looked down on Yun Zheng from the bottom of his heart and shouted angrily, "In the eyes of the Ninth Prince, who do you think you are? A lowly merchant's daughter, not even worthy of serving him footbath water..."
The sound of galloping horses was heard outside, and a group of men in black were seen rushing around in the inner courtyard in a gorgeous carriage with an extremely arrogant attitude.
They were fully armed, holding weapons, and their postures were agile. The oncoming oppressive feeling was suffocating.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Pingxi Hou's pupils trembled violently. This was the seat reserved for the Nine Thousand Year Old.
He hurried over and said, "Greetings, Mr. Nine Thousand Year Old."
The carriage stopped and the window opened, revealing a cold and handsome face. It was the Ninth Thousand Year Old, Li Wuyang.
His cold gaze swept across Pingxi Hou, across the embarrassed crowd, and finally landed on that touch of red.
She waved at him, her smile as bright as a flower.
Li Wuyang's tense heart relaxed a little. She was fine, nothing happened!
No one knew that when he learned that there was a sudden fire in the Pingxi Marquis Mansion, his heart seemed to freeze.
"Master Jinyun, are you injured?"
He ignored everyone and only greeted Yun Zheng.
Pingxi Hou froze there, looking embarrassed and confused.
When Jiang Wenzhou thought about what he had just said, his face looked extremely ugly, as if he had been slapped in the face.
"Nine Thousand Years Old, please ignore her. She is just stirring up trouble..."
Li Wuyang didn't even look at him, but just stared at the woman in red on the wall.
"Come down, I've brought the imperial physician to see you. If you get frightened and fall ill, how can you preside over the auction in five days? The Emperor is still waiting."
Yun Zheng's eyes rolled. Didn't they say she was just bullying? Okay, then that's confirmed.
"Your Majesty, he scolded me, he bullied me, and..."
She complained incessantly, her speech so rapid that no one else could get a word in. Everyone in the mansion was so anxious that they were sweating profusely.
Family disgrace should not be made public. How could she be like this? She has no sense of the overall situation at all.
Who will cover her mouth?
Ye Yizhen's eyes were fixed on Li Wuyang. Would this unattainable Ninth Thousand Year Old Man stand up for Yun Zheng in public?
Impossible, she doesn't believe it!
